So.
Latest news. No one will hire me out of state so I can move to Austin like I wanted to. So I decided I need to get a degree and not in photography because I can’t seem to get into that field right now. I’m going back to school at NOVA and going for a BS in Zoology/Zoo Science. I think this would be a good field for me to work in because I love animals and believe in animal conservation. I think I’d be a good Zoologist given I can push past the massive amounts of work needed in math. I’m going to try my damnedest to get into the closed math and biology classes at the Manassas campus. Meanwhile, I’m leaving ATCC in 3 days and I have no fall back which is starting to get a bit unnerving because I have WAY too many bills (Yes I know, the Mac, new phone, new car and camera aren’t seeming so awesome anymore…I’m stupid.). But with my new “I’ll be OK” philosophy, I’m not worried, which is nice. I’m still applying like crazy to anywhere.
Things with the “new” Chris are going pretty good. We’re still “unofficial”, which I’m trying to be patient with, because we have a good thing going and even if it doesn’t work out I don’t want to rush things that way, if we get to that point we get there, if we don’t we don’t. I’ve adopted “Sunday Fundays” to help alleviate some of his stress from work, getting out to do something fun and new. I think it’s good for me too, I need to a break from life sometimes. We’ve been watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia to get away from my ALWAYS watching How I Met Your Mother which has been a crutch so I can sleep since breaking up with Chris which was nearly six months ago now. But I’m happy with where we are right now.
Home is, well, home. Things aren’t so stressful since Chris lets me stay at his place on the weekends and if it’s really bad, once on a weekday. Dad’s divorce hearing is sometime beginning of August, they want me there to testify, I’m going to so glad when this is over.
I put my tongue ring back in, can’t believe the hole was still there.
OH! HUGE irony for the week. Tatiana, Chris’s new girlfriend, is taking over MY position AND desk. I laughed for probably an hour about that one. I really still can’t get over the irony in my life…My life really should be a sitcom…
Chris (my ex) and I are pretty much good now. I’m finally to the point where I can be cordial and not be pissed off later. I don’t feel hurt anymore, but I can’t forgive him for how everything went down, mainly with him dating Tatiana, that one was down right ridiculous. I’m fine with us never being friends, frankly I would never want to be friends with someone who would do what was done to me to someone. I do appreciate the things done in the last 3 months, they don’t ride in together, I don’t see them together at work, he doesn’t mention anything about her when we talk and he’s had to adjust to make that happen so I appreciate it. He earns brownie points, but it’ll never be enough for friendship.
This weekend should be really good though, I’ve had a lot of those recently. I’ll be seeing some friends from the show I did 2 years ago tonight. Seeing Alex in jail (I’ll explain that one next blog), doing something fun Saturday evening and going out to dinner with Chris and Stephanie (whom I haven’t seen in FOREVER) at Red Robin, yum! Next week I’m doing happy hour with people to celebrate my being unemployed (hopefully for only a short while) and watching Jake, which I’m really excited about because I miss the little guy loads. By the way, Jake is now one whole year old! It’s crazy how fast this year flew by. I forgot that it’s been a while since my last blog. When I post this I’ll make sure to not what I need to fill you in on next time :)
Until next time,

Up to now.
Well, the play is over now. It’s been almost two weeks now since the last show and I really miss everyone, it was one of the best experiences of my life thus far. I’ll never forget it for sure. I’m hopefully planning a reunion party before I head out.
I’m still hanging out with Chris (Boom-Boom), a lot more these days that I have more free time. I do really like him, we’re kind of just rolling with our feelings right now and taking things as they come with all the variables we have in our lives right now. It’s still great to have the company and where I do really like him, I’m keeping myself prepared for the fact that it may not last because I need to keep my emotions in check. Until then, I’m just going to roll with it as long as we’re both on the same page.
So that will bring us up to the Fourth of July weekend. This was one of the best weekends in a long, long time. Friday Robert and Kendall flew me and Chris over to St. Michael’s in a tiny little plane, I was VERY nervous about that, but both flights went very well. I’d say the only downfall of the day was eating softshell crab, yuck. Being back in St. Michael’s brought up a lot of memories since the last time I was there it was to visit with Landon. I had forgotten about how nice that little town is, walking around all day and checking out various stores, walking around the maritime museum and the weather was beautiful all day for us. We listened to a band play up at the museum grounds until dusk rolled around, I took some really great pictures as the sun went down and then the fireworks show ended the night for us. We sat in a little ice cream shop while the crowd died down and traffic thinned out. I think spending the day with three really great friends was the best part of the whole day.
Saturday was the Great Meadow. I went home to get my brother and Ashleigh but they were having a little spat so I got some groceries (i.e: beer, chips and salsa and fruit for Chris) and then changed and picked them up. Another good part of the day was that I got to see Matt, Brian and Paul because I haven’t seen them in months. Chris was nice enough to drive us all out there because my car seemed to be too small to take everyone and our stuff, siiigh, the downside of a cute and small car. Once we got to the plains, which took no time at all strangely with how many people ended up being there in the end, I cracked open a beer and waited for my parents to show up. Once they got there Chris and I walked around a little bit, took in some interesting sights, saw the fluffy chickens and some baby animals, watched the melon shooting event, helicopters, which was pretty much what we did all day. The fireworks were amazing this year! I got a lot of good pictures of them too. My little camera decided to go kaput on me which almost soured my mood, but I was in such a good mood all day that it really didn’t put a dent in my day. Spending the day with Chris and actually having a day without any hiccups with my family is the best part of that day, along with fireworks of course.
Sunday was spent entirely just with Chris and was a great day even though it was spent doing nothing.
I’m now halfway through the work week which has been rough to say the least. Monday I had to go to the Urgent Care for my chest issue again, was given an inhaler and I feel much better. Afterwards I hung out with Chris for a little while and distressed and let my inhaler start working which was nice. Tuesday can pretty much suck it at this point, well the working part of it. I went to Zaq’s birthday happy hour and then party at his place/my old place, saw some old acquaintances, an old friend and had some good times talking with new people. It definitely picked me up from my day earlier. Oh, and I extended my resignation to end beginning of August a) to help out the Dept here because they are getting screwed, b) so I can have health insurance for the month of August and c) So I can have a little extra money in the pocket while I continue to find a job in Austin, currently having no luck with that.
At any rate, I’m feeling really great and I’m really glad things are looking up for me these days. I hope this good streak continues for a while.
Tune in next time, same bat time, same bat channel.
